Saltmarsh Colours
Glasswort

Just as the trees change colour in the autumn, so do the plants of the saltmarsh. There are two plants that provide most of the colour, the glassworts and annual sea-blite. So keep a watch through the coming weeks as bright green turns to red, to purple and then brown.

annual sea blite and glasswort
